Description: 

The page cache needed to load configuration to determine whether it should do something. Hence was slower than it could be (it had to initialize the configuration system).

By moving it into a separate module:

  • it is now easier to understand and replace: "page cache module installed" == "page cache on", and vice versa
  • the performance settings form becomes simpler
